- From January 1, 2026, a new electronic VAT refund system for non-EU tourists will be introduced in the Czech Republic.
- Key requirements for VAT refunds remain: non-EU residency, personal use, export within three months, minimum CZK 2,000 per receipt, and refund requests within six months.
- Sellers must submit transaction details to an online customs system and provide a paper receipt marked “VAT REFUND” or “TAX FREE.”
- Receipts must include the buyer’s passport number, country code, currency, and value of exempt supplies.
- Sellers must request the refunded VAT by the end of the calendar year following the year of export confirmation, which is sent electronically by Customs.
